Obviously requires an Adobe account, which hints at it being folded into their subscription pricing. I wonder if this is a customer retention move given the number of third-party plugins to use Dall-E, SD, Midjourney, etc. with Photoshop. (I also wonder who is powering this or if it's an in-house solution -- that should be telling...) Edit: Why, they've trained this on Adobe stock images. OK, this may be very interesting for publications worried about copyright.

Their blog about their methodology[1] implies to me it's an in-house solution. They also talk at length about maintaining provenance, ethics, and transparency. I found it a much more informative read than the product announcement.

Actually, when signing up for the waitlist, they don't ask for your Adobe account.

  it's only a matter of time i'm sure. I don't think you can use any adobe product today without Adobe Creative Cloud™

    There are a variety of consumer products (and Adobe Reader) that are still non-subscription. There also subsets of Creative Cloud. But, yes, this will presumably be part of their subscriptions at some point.

    > I don't think you can use any adobe product today without Adobe Creative Cloud The Elements versions of Photoshop and Premiere are paid for with a one-off purchase and are not part of a cloud subscription. I use Creative Cloud photoshop but a while ago purchased a separate Premiere Elements license for video editing - this was cheaper than extending my CC subscription to include Premiere Pro. But I switched to (the awesome) Davinci Resolve for video editing when my copy of Premiere elements wasn't able to open video clips from just-released cameras and phones.
